A Russian drone hit an apartment building in Kharkiv, Ukraine, injuring eight and causing a fire. The city has faced frequent air attacks since Russia's 2022 invasion.
(Reuters) - A Russian drone struck a multi-storey apartment building late on Sunday in Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv, triggering a fire and injuring eight people, the city's mayor said.
Kharkiv resisted capture in the early days of Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine and has since been a frequent target of air attacks. A medical centre was damaged in one of several drone strikes in the city on Friday.
Mayor Ihor Terekhov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said the fire triggered by Sunday's attack spread to several apartments on the top floor of the building.
None of the injured had required hospital treatment, he said. Three other residential buildings were damaged, with well over 100 windows smashed.
Emergency crews were working at the site, the mayor added.
